I should also warn that moving messages from an online account to an 
offline account does not work well. Internally, MailMate never deletes a 
message from its source mailbox before it has been uploaded to the 
destination mailbox (when it's different accounts). There is actually no 
easy way to see this in MailMate (usually it's an intermediate state 
until synchronization), but it's possible to find these messages by 
using some internal virtual headers. I'll give this some thought.
